A gray dark day, 1989 陰天, 1989



我張開眼天空灰灰的
就像在沉寂的陰天裡
你看到天使有點憂鬱無精打采的
我跟平常一樣每新的一天都期待著媽媽好起來

安靜

爸爸跟我們說媽媽走了 昨晚

安靜

那天我們都穿戴整齊
是媽媽的葬禮
雨下的好大
媽說我一直都想看到你們長大
跟我說好好照顧弟弟妹妹

現在我跟我自己講話
全世界是下雨聲 安靜的畫面 和我自己的聲音
媽我知道您聽得到



紐澤西 1989



I woke up
The sky was a little gray
But very heavy
Even angles can not cheer up in the big gray dark day
Everyday I was hoping mom will be getting better and the evil sickness will be gone

Silent

Mom, dad told us you were gone, last night

Silent

We all dressed nicely on that day
It was mom’s funeral
It was raining cats and dogs
Mom told me that she had been always wanted to see us grow up
Told me to take good care of brother and sister

Talking to myself now
The whole world there were just the raining sound, silent vision and my own voice reamained
But I know mom can hear me

Mom

August 16, 2007 Morning


I drove as fast as I can that I just wanted to go home to see you
I know it was just a tiny little thing
It hurted though
On my way home, I was about to cry, well, wet in my eyes
Then I questioned myself why I would I have such thought?
It would not be too cute to cry that I have a little girl now
Tough is the thing you need, mom
But I can still be a little girl in your arms, I know my baby would not mind, I don't need to be tough there
Driving home..
Keep driving, I will see my baby and I know that it is a safe place and I wanna go there

媽媽請問您一天有多少時間給您自己 Mommies, how much time do you have for yourself each day?
